Piers is a scumbag and has been since his days as at the Sun were he himself confesses to being a celebrity brown noser. The fact even Murdoch said he went to far in tabloid ******** causing him to leave for the Mirror is proof enough. He was investigated at the Mirror for breaching code on financial journalism. Then he was fired from there for publishing fake pictures of British soldiers for which he's never apologised. Then he's quite like Donald Trump in forgetting who his friends are, when he claimed not to have ever met Jimmy Saville and it turns out a few years later he had met Saville in an article he wrote earlier in which he said "I've always loved Jimmy Saville". He's a grade A ****, a brown nosing sycophant and I wouldn't **** on him if he were on fire.
Edit: In fact, let's get to the real problem. Piers is a smug **** who wanders around with an unwarranted sense of self importance. He earned his success by being a bottom feeding bully, who scraped the bottom of whatever **** hole he was working in at the time being hateful, celebrity obsessed and privacy despising hypocrite who likes hacking phones. He has crawled over anyone to make it to where he is and done anything to get there. He's partnered with other smug ***** like Simon Cowell to make a name for himself on TV were he was once again paid to be a bully and surround himself with celebrities he liked to lick the arse of. He's a knee jerk reactionary that couldn't pull a decent argument out of his arse despite how far his head is up there. He's a pound store Jeremy Kyle pretending to be an Andrew Marr. He has and continues to exist on controversy. The only people that will miss Piers when he is dead are those unfortunate enough to have been the result of him not pulling out.
